To every one low T3 thyroid also causes temps as low as 97 or even below
and low thyroid can make everthing in your body ache and you feel just
crummy. YOur body is most efficient at 98.6 + - Not everyone is right
on the mark. Many people who get their t3's in balance often lose
weight and have more energy than they have had for years. In the case
of Laura with your Crohns ya gotta go see the DR. Have him/her run a
full thyroid panel many just do te T4 and T5 and TSH and don't do the T3
testing. Get it done.
